College GameDay Reacts to the Presidential Debate Between Donald Trump and Joe Biden
The first Presidential Debate aired last night and buddy, people were talking about it. Even people from the world of college football, where politics are usually completely off-limits, had some thoughts on the debate. Here's what ESPN's College GameDay crew had to say.
Kirk Herbstreit was "very concerned." For who, exactly? He didn't sound concerned four years ago.
Have never really followed politics-typically pretty neutral about it all. Watched tonight. Very concerned.

Desmond Howard just didn't like all the interruptions.
Real easy solution...moderator needs to have the ability to kill either microphone whenever it's needed. #Debates2020

David Pollack wanted also wanted some more order. These guys have obviously gotten used to the respectful, colorful debate of College GameDay.
I don’t tweet about politics. Not my place to tell you how you shld feel and who you shld support. I just wish both guys tonight had a little more respect for each other.

As for Lee Corso, the beloved college football personality may be the smartest of us all.
FYI Mr Corso isn't on twitter. Doesn't really get what it is. accounts are fake. Including the one claiming to be "real"

Contributor Tom Rinaldi is also not on Twitter, but it felt like he was at the debate in spirit because many people were in tears by the time it ended. Just remember to vote when the election comes to your city!
